Thanks for the video! Here in beautiful "New" Jersey, I am reading a very interesting book about the Spy adventures of MI5 & MI6 during the cold war - and it is really interesting to actually see a Minox in action.

@HuckleDad You're welcome, i'm glad you found it interesting. I'm thinking of digging mine out again and shooting some reels through it, not done anything with film for a while now and I love the images you get from these, theres something old world charming about them.

i just came across this camera Minox B and i don't know how to change the film for it, also i wanted to know if the box comes with the flashgun or did that have to be sold separately?

@MrsKojak1981 See my other videos for a loading and unloading film one.

Flashguns were a seperate item, some boxes will have cutouts for them and this can be for one of two reasons, it was a gift set containing everything, or, dependant on the retailer was the only packaging available but had the cutouts for future accessory purchases.

if you have the genuine minox daylight development tank, developing a minox film becomes much much easier. Not that rare or expensive, either.

@kumasan1969 More than easy enough to modify a Jobo reel to use in a standard Jobo tank, uses less dev fluid and the Jobo tanks are far more plentiful, much cheaper and not made of bakelite hence less brittle.

Nice to have a Jobo tank as a collectors item but no great benefit of developing submini film in it.

the first minox was made in Latvia, Riga

@x1starwarsrocks1x Latvians invented MINOX Camera, not Estonians. Latvians had workshop in Estonia and it was created there

Estonians invented minox, the inventor was Walter Zapp.

:) but the minox tank is in line with the art of minimalism.

I should have invested on Jobo system, color processing in my Nikor-type stainless tanks is pain in the neck. :(
